Windows Explorer provides basic functionality - the ability to navigate throughout your computer, and perform basic tasks - but Explorer++ goes further, introducing several enhancements and improvements for a much richer file browsing experience. Aside from basic navigation, Explorer++ has: • a two paned interface, like Windows Explorer, but with multiple tabs in the files pane. You can have many locations open at once and quickly change from tab to tab. •a Drives toolbar, showing all available volumes - disk drives - (including network and USB drives). Jump to a drive with a single mouse click. •a Bookmarks menu (similar to Windows Explorer favorites, but with more functionality), and a Bookmarks toolbar • an Application toolbar where you can create shortcuts to your favorite applications • Show Command Prompt built into Explorer++ • attribute control (set, clear) for multiple files • various methods of file display, including multiple groupings • quickly split a large file into pieces, for email or other purposes, and quickly merge pieces back into the original file •a destroy files function which deletes files, then wipes their former disk space clean. This provides secure erasing of files. • a built-in file search function which allows searching by name or attributes • customized file display colors, by name or attributes • ability to run in portable mode, storing all configuration in an XML file • highly configurable, for user preference • full drag-and-drop support with other applications, including Windows Explorer • much more. ! 1 Explorer++ Documentation, Release 1.3.5 Explorer++ requires Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 10 (32-bit or 64-bit systems) to run; there is no installation required. Explorer++ uses English as its native language, but can be used with other languages through the use of translation DLLs, available on the website. Translations are user contributed (thanks for the work!), and as a result, some may be incomplete. 2 Chapter 1. About Explorer++ CHAPTER 2 Menus 2.1 File 2.1.1 New Tab Ctrl + T This function creates a new tab in the files pane. The tab is always created: • as the last tab (far right) - default, or • next to (right of) the current tab depending on the setting in Options.. (Tabs). The contents default to the current setting for same - see Default new tab folder option. The new tab automatically receives the focus (ie. becomes the active tab). Tip: This function - opening a new tab - is also available by: • using the middle mouse button while hovering over – a folder in either the treeview or files pane – a drive on the Drives toolbar – an item on the Bookmarks toolbar • selecting New Tab (default contents) or Duplicate Tab (focus not transferred to new tab) from the tab’s context (ie. right-click) menu • selecting Open in New Tab from a folder’s context (ie. right-click) menu in the files pane, or from a button’s context menu on the Bookmarks toolbar • pressing Ctrl+Enter while a folder in the files pane is selected • using Ctrl+doubleclick while hovering over a folder in the files pane • double-clicking empty space in Tab bar (default contents) 3 Explorer++ Documentation, Release 1.3.5 • clicking the Create a new tab button (if visible) on the Main toolbar • selecting New Tab from a Windows 7 jump list (available as a context, ie. right click) menu from the Task Bar The above methods, unless stated otherwise, open the tab with the contents of the folder used, not the default contents or Default new tab folder (see above). Windows 7 Jump List 2.1.2 Close Tab Ctrl + W Ctrl + F4 This menu item closes the current tab in the file pane. Currently, there is no way to reopen a closed tab (ie. undo the closing operation), except using normal methods for a new tab. Note: Starting with version 1.2, closing the last tab can close Explorer++, as an option. 2.1.3 Clone Window This operation opens a new Explorer++ window (instance), complete with all settings and panes copied from the original window. Clone Window only clones the active tab; other (non-active) tabs are ignored. Clone Window obeys the setting of the Allow multiple instances option; if multiple instances are not allowed, then only a new tab is created and duplicated. Note: Some settings (eg. column widths in the files pane) may not be duplicated. 2.1.4 Save Directory Listing. This menu item performs a simple directory (folder) listing and saves it as a text file. A Save As Windows dialog allows the user to save the file in any location, under any name. The listing only contains file/folder names, sorted in alphabetical order; folders are identified with “(Folder)” ap- pended. Note that the file is saved in Unicode format (codepage = UTF-16 LE), with a BOM (byte order mark = FFFE hex) header. Windows Notepad can read this file format and can save the file is ANSI format, if desired. 4 Chapter 2. Menus Explorer++ Documentation, Release 1.3.5 Example Directory --------- H:\Projects\Explorer++\html\mnu_file Date ---- 2011-10-30,7:39:58AM Statistics ---------- Number of folders:0 Number of files: 15 Total size (not including subfolders): 42.7KB Folders ------- Files ----- clone_win.htm close_tab.htm copy_col_text.htm copy_file_paths.htm copy_folder_path.htm copy_Ufile_paths.htm delete.htm delete_perm.htm exit.htm new_tab.htm properties.htm rename.htm save_dir_list.htm set_file_attr.htm show_cmd_prompt.htm Tip: More detailed lists can be obtained by opening a Command Prompt window and using the Dir command. Example: dir /ogn > "Directory Listing.txt" Type: dir /? for help on the Dir command. 2.1.5 Show Command Prompt This menu item opens a command prompt (ie. DOS box) in the current directory. Executing command line commands can perform some tasks quickly and easily. Note that this opens a 32 bit (ie. cmd.exe) window rather than a 16 bit (ie. command.com) window. 2.1. File 5 Explorer++ Documentation, Release 1.3.5 Note: For more information, search the Windows internal Help and Support for “command shell” and “command line reference”. 2.1.6 Copy Folder Path Ctrl + Shift + P This function places the full (ie. fully qualified) path to the current folder - whose contents are shown in the files pane - on the clipboard, for pasting into another application. This may be useful for pasting into text or word processing documents. This is equivalent to • selecting the path shown in the address bar, then • copying that to the clipboard, using the context menu, or Ctrl+C. The folder path is copied to the clipboard as Unicode text (ie. plain text) - the clipboard contents cannot be used to paste the actual folder or its contents. Because this is a Unicode copy, foreign characters, such as the Beta in the example, are represented correctly. If Asian characters are included, your Windows system must have support installed for “East Asian Languages” (Control Panel/Regional and Language Options). In order to save true Unicode information, pasting must be done into a text editor which is Unicode compatible, like Windows Notepad. Example H:\Projects\Explorer++\html\mnu_file\New ß Folder Note: Using this function on a virtual folder (eg. My Computer, not really a true directory) copies the path as a special registry path or GUID (globally unique identifier) - not the path as shown in the Address Bar. 2.1.7 Copy File Paths This function places the full (ie. fully qualified) paths to all currently selected files - as shown in the files pane - on the clipboard, for pasting into another application. If multiple file paths are selected, the paths are delimited (ie. separated) by carriage-return/linefeed characters; pasting multiple files to a text document pastes them as separate line. File paths are copied as Unicode text - see here for more comments. Folder paths, ie. selected folders displayed in the files pane, are copied the same as files. 6 Chapter 2. Menus Explorer++ Documentation, Release 1.3.5 Example H:\Projects\Explorer++\html\mnu_file\New Folder H:\Projects\Explorer++\html\mnu_file\clone_win.htm H:\Projects\Explorer++\html\mnu_file\close_tab.htm H:\Projects\Explorer++\html\mnu_file\copy_col_text.htm Note: Network resources - files, folders and printers, etc. on a network - are copied using UNC rules, rather than fully qualified paths on the local computer. 2.1.8 Copy Universal File Paths This menu item behaves nearly identically to Copy File Paths, except that the paths to Network resources (ie. files, printers, etc.) are always copied obeying Windows UNC (Universal Naming Convention) rules. UNC syntax for Windows systems has the generic form: \\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Resource, or \\Server\Volume\File A sample listing (1 file) might look like \\Netbook\SharedDocs\My Pictures\Josh& Penny- house\IMG_0595.JPG 2.1.9 Copy Column Text The files pane displays file and folder information in columns, such as: The Copy Column Text function copies to the clipboard (as plain, Unicode text) • column headings and • the text shown in each column, whether visible or not for files that are currently selected. Copied text may be pasted into another application, such as a word processor or text editor, using Paste (Ctrl+V) from within that application.

  • Serverless Network File Systems
    Serverless Network File Systems Thomas E. Anderson, Michael D. Dahlin, Jeanna M. Neefe, David A. Patterson, Drew S. Roselli, and Randolph Y. Wang Computer Science Division University of California at Berkeley Abstract In this paper, we propose a new paradigm for network file system design, serverless network file systems. While traditional network file systems rely on a central server machine, a serverless system utilizes workstations cooperating as peers to provide all file system services. Any machine in the system can store, cache, or control any block of data. Our approach uses this location independence, in combination with fast local area networks, to provide better performance and scalability than traditional file systems. Further, because any machine in the system can assume the responsibilities of a failed component, our serverless design also provides high availability via redundant data storage. To demonstrate our approach, we have implemented a prototype serverless network file system called xFS. Preliminary performance measurements suggest that our architecture achieves its goal of scalability. For instance, in a 32-node xFS system with 32 active clients, each client receives nearly as much read or write throughput as it would see if it were the only active client. 1. Introduction A serverless network file system distributes storage, cache, and control over cooperating workstations. This approach contrasts with traditional file systems such as Netware [Majo94], NFS [Sand85], Andrew [Howa88], and Sprite [Nels88] where a central server machine stores all data and satisfies all client cache misses. Such a central server is both a performance and reliability bottleneck. A serverless system, on the other hand, distributes control processing and data storage to achieve scalable high performance, migrates the responsibilities of failed components to the remaining machines to provide high availability, and scales gracefully to simplify system management.

  • The NTFS File System
    The NTFS File System OVERVIEW: This lab is part of a series of lab exercises intended to support courseware for Forensics training. The development of this document is funded by the Department of Labor (DOL) Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) Grant No. TC-22525-11-60-A-48. In this lab, students will enumerate hosts on the network using various tools. This lab includes the following tasks: 1 – Examining the NTFS File System 2 – Using a HEX Editor to explore an NTFS Partition 3 – Verifying and viewing the image details 4 – Analyzing an NTFS Partition With Autopsy Key TermDescription The acronym NTFS stands for New Technology File System. The NTFS File System was originally introduced with the Windows NT. NTFS is a journaling file system which means it keeps a log of changes being written to the disk. If a computer is shutdown improperly, it will have a better NTFS chance of recovery if it has a journaling file system. Files and folder access can be restricted with the security feature of NTFS. Starting with Windows 2000, Microsoft included the Encrypted File System, or EFS, as an NTFS feature. EFS allows users to encrypt files to protect against unauthorized access. A Feature of the NTFS File system that allows you to encrypt files and folders. The feature EFS became available on the NTFS File system starting with Windows 2000, and is still available today on Windows 10 and Server 2016. An Alternate Data Stream, or ADS, is a feature of the NTFS file system that allowed compatibility ADS with older versions of the Mac OS.
